Talking Stories 1, 2 and 3 I-Board for KS1 Literacy
Supports the renewed framework for KS2 Literacy. The ‘stories’ are Coleridge’s ‘The Ancient Mariner’; Sherlock Holmes in the ‘Red-Headed League’; the forest scene from ‘Midsummer’s Night Dream’, Food, and a co production with the Met around the role of PCSOs.
Each is an incredibly rich resource, supporting extensive work at KS2 Literacy, possibly up to four weeks work in some cases, with additional resources for off-computer activities.
